After all the ugliness that unfolded around the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot, it was inevitable that the next attempt at resurrecting the property would be a topic of controversy, and sure enough, Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters 3 has seen its share of drama before so much as a cast member has been announced.
In the wake of some Avengers: Endgame promo art that dropped earlier this month, many fans are more confident than ever that the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War sequel will see the MCU debut of Professor Hulk, a comic book character who’s essentially a merge of Hulk’s body and Bruce Banner’s mind. And while this development is still to be confirmed, one new theory which emerged on Reddit has offered an intriguing suggestion for how it might happen.
It was slightly over a week ago that a report emerged claiming that director Rian Johnson had walked away from his planned Star Wars trilogy, yet not only has the rumor since been debunked by the filmmaker himself, but it seems that the trilogy’s first installment may have acquired its production name a few months ago.
In the last few weeks, various reports have surfaced alleging an overwhelming number of Star Wars spinoff projects that Lucasfilm is said to be considering for Disney Plus. And while we might never know just which of these many claims were legit, it seems that at least one of the projects may have already made it past the development stages, with Fantha Tracks reporting that a new Star Wars TV show is now in production.
While all the promotion and merchandise we’ve seen so far for Avengers: Endgame strongly indicates that Thanos will continue to play a major role in the Marvel saga, it’s long been a prominent theory among certain corners of the fandom that the Mad Titan may not be the main threat faced by Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in their next adventure. And in a new post from Epicstream, the suggestion is made that the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie may have already hinted at the bigger danger coming the MCU’s way.
In the weeks following the surprise announcement that Jason Reitman is working on a Ghostbusters 3, we’ve heard quite a few reports alleging details on the film’s young leads, but so far, we’ve yet to receive any signs that some actual casting announcements are imminent.
We don’t have long to wait now until Captain Marvel’s solo debut makes its way to cinemas, but after that, Carol Danvers is expected to play a key role in Avengers: Endgame, as teased by this new piece of merchandise that places the MCU’s most powerful hero right above the title.
Once Avengers: Endgame drops in April and brings the first 11 years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to its point of culmination, the biggest question left on the minds of many fans will surely be, what’s next? Indeed, aside from July’s Spider-Man: Far From Home, Marvel Studios has yet to officially announce any further releases, and it sounds like we still have a few more months to wait until they do.
Though many Marvel fans are still upset that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is moving forward without James Gunn at the helm, we’ve been hearing for a while now that the upcoming threequel will still be using the filmmaker’s script, and sure enough, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has offered his confirmation that this is indeed the case.
Earlier this week, the internet momentarily got very excited when it was reported that Armie Hammer was in final talks to star in Matt Reeves’ The Batman. In the days since, however, the claim has been denied by multiple sources, the most damning of them all being Hammer himself. In fact, if a new report from THR is anything to go by, the 32-year-old Call Me by Your Name star may not even be in the right age bracket for the part.
